    This LinkedIn article provides helpful tips, tricks and strategies for building your personal brand and a reputation as a Thought Leader on LinkedIn, even if you're not famous. I wrote it after leaving a software company that I built for 6 years and going from position to position - none of which were a fit for my skillset or passions. So I decided to embark on a journey to become recognized as a thought leader in my areas of expertise and my interests including digital transformation, business transformation, enterprise software (e.g., ERP, CRM, BI, Financial Analytics), thought leadership, LinkedIn marketing, personal branding and writing. I hope that it provides value to my network on LinkedIn.
